1 ADDRESS given by Leslie G. Townsend, Master of the Lincoln Cathedral Company of Bellringers and Secretary of the Lincoln Diocesan Guild of Church Bell Ringers at Keith’s funeral on 2 August 2007 in the church of St Lawrence, Church Stretton, Shropshire. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Being a ringer brings a number of duties and responsibilities your way; to the church where you ring, the people who ring with you, the people who hear what you ring, and to your family and friends. It also requires a certain sense of humour. Keith was ever mindful of this as many of you will know, always setting a superb example by his own conduct. He started his ringing career at Springfield, near Cheltenham, then moved to Salisbury where his ringing took a back seat for a while. Moving on to Retford in North Nottinghamshire, interest was rekindled in the art and he enjoyed the friendship of an active and progressive band of ringers. Then came a move East to Lincolnshire where he joined the tower at Horncastle as a member of the Lincoln Guild Eastern Branch. You will forgive me if I now focus my thoughts of Keith around the Lincoln Guild because this is where I grew to know and respect him. Such was his ability and enthusiasm that the 1986 Guild Report for the Eastern Branch notes 'a successful Quarter­peal day took place in October; there were several 'firsts' and the day rounded off at Butterwick. Our thanks to Keith Buckingham for the extensive arrangements.' Those of you who have arranged similar events will know exactly what is involved. The 1987 report records 'another successful Quarter­peal day organised by Keith Buckingham with attempts made in most Branch towers during the day.' Keith is then shown as 'unattached' in the report for 1990 but the next year records him a member of the tower at Alford. This area was again fertile ground for his enthusiasm and, with a nice peal of bells and Sue's unswerving support, much progress was made in teaching youngsters ­ groundwork that still bears fruit today. How very proud he must have been when Robert, one of those up and coming youngsters, became a member of the York Minster Band. The Eastern Branch fortunately recognised a 'good­un' in Keith and elected him 'Ringing Master' in 1994, and Branch President in 1995, when with Sue as Ringing Master he continued the good work until 2001 when higher office was on the horizon. During this time Keith and Sue moved house to Raithby near Spilsby where branch teas became the stuff of legend. Keith was appreciated not only throughout the branch but also in the wider Guild by his ringing excellence, his personality, his ability to get on with people and his quiet sense of humour. I well remember a branch meeting at Swineshead, in the days before the bells were rehung, and people were at times reluctant to 'catch hold', I was sitting down having a pleasant chat with Sue (all chats with Sue are pleasant) when Keith asked me to ring. I stood up to ring as bidden, not realising that the bench we were sitting on had its legs somewhat in from the ends, the bench tipped up and Sue was dumped unceremoniously on the floor under the ladder ­ Keith's face was a picture!!
2 Lincoln Guild territory is very large, mainly rural, and stretches North/South from the Humber to the Wash and East/West from the East coast to the River Trent. The Guild is divided into six branches and has some 750 members. Geoff Parker, the Guild Master, died suddenly in September 2001 thus creating a vacancy in the senior offices. It was filled temporarily by the Master Emeritus, Denis Frith, whilst a suitable candidate for the post was sought. Keith was an obvious choice and, as Secretary, I asked him if he was prepared to accept nomination at the forthcoming AGM for the post of Guild Master. He told me that it was something he had never even contemplated; considered it would be a very great honour but didn’t know if he was capable! Of course, he would have to discuss it with Sue before giving an answer. He was quite right; it is said that behind every good man is a good woman, and Sue's achievements and support had not gone unnoticed. They had already been proved a super team and we wanted them both. After some time, and quite a bit of prompting, Keith agreed to the nomination, much to the relief of all concerned. He was elected Guild Master at the April 2002 AGM, an excellent appointment. He was also elected a Lincoln Guild Representative on the Central Council at the same time. He immediately set about the daunting task of getting to know ringers all over the Guild and was very successful in bringing a certain cohesion in some hitherto difficult areas ­ no mean feat. Wherever he went, whatever he did, he brought great credit to the Guild and we thank him for that. Two National Ringing highlights took place in Lincolnshire in 2003 during his Mastership. He attended both and played a full part on behalf of the Guild in each of them. They were the highly successful National 12­bell Striking Competition Finals held at Surfleet and the Ringing Roadshow which took place on the Lincolnshire Show ground. Keith not only enjoyed his ringing but also enjoyed all that went with it such as teaching, organising, conducting, holding office and representing the Guild with dignity. He certainly derived great pleasure from all that he did but he put so much back in to give others opportunities to do the same. When employment worries precipitated the sale of the house at Raithby and it was apparent that a fresh start was to be made in another part of the country, Keith declined further nomination in 2005. It is no surprise that Keith and Sue settled into the ringing scene in Shropshire, taking an active part as ever, and it was a great joy to spend time with them at the Central Council Meeting last May. All that Keith was and did will be remembered with love, affection and thankfulness for him and the family, by all who knew him. There are some big names on the list of Past Masters of the Lincoln Guild and Keith, the ninth since its formation in 1899, is there among them.
3 Keith N Buckingham (1958­2007) Keith was born in Wallsend, Newcastle, the middle of three children. At an early age he joined the church choir, but already displaying an able business brain, jumped ship to the bell ringers on discovering they were paid more for weddings. And so a lifelong hobby was formed. Keith learnt to ring at Springfield, near Chelmsford, then moved to Retford in his late teens and rang his first peal at Babworth in 1976. In the early 80’s another move saw him settle at Horncastle in Lincolnshire, developing a love for the magnificent 16cwt six and honing his 6 bell ringing under the leadership of the late Horace Bennett. In 1988 he met Sue, who he married in 1994. The late 80’s and early 90’s were one of the high points of central Lincolnshire ringing, and Keith and Sue joined the ‘Monday night’ peal band, working through the standard eight, onto non­standard methods, and occasionally having the opportunities to ring Stedman Cinques and Cambridge Surprise Maximus. Keith enjoyed his peal ringing, ringing a total of 444 peals of which he conducted 16. This total includes the then record of 20,160 Grandsire Triples in 1991. Keith was never fussed about conducting, preferring to leave it to others. However he turned his hand to it when required, always giving 100% effort as he did in everything. My own interest in composing and method construction was sparked through reading his detailed workings on touches and compositions. However, his primary objective was never peals, but putting back into ringing. He served as the LDG Eastern Branch ringing master in the mid 80‘s, later becoming its President, and was very proud to be appointed LDG Master in 2002, a position he held until another move to Shropshire in 2005. The bells in many of the local villages, which would otherwise have fallen silent, were kept going due to Keith’s efforts, and he taught countless people to ring, myself included. Keith also served on the Central Council for both the LDG and the Shropshire Association. He was also pleased to be admitted as a member of the ASCY in 2003. Keith started working life as a cashier at Lloyd’s Bank, gradually moving up to Black Horse Life Financial Services and eventually setting up as an independent financial advisor.
4 However, once the last of the children had flown the nest, Keith was able to discard a hectic career and enjoy life at a more leisurely pace. Keith was a highly intelligent, knowledgeable and understanding person. My last conversation with him on the Saturday before his death sums him up very well, when he gave me advice and reassurance about my forthcoming accountancy exams. In return he asked for some tips on a peal of 7 Surprise Minor which he had agreed to conduct. At heart he was a traditionalist, but full of paradoxes. He always kept up with the cutting edge of technology, and his large collection of modern house music outdated my own CD collection by about 30 years. Also, for a man who appreciated good quality food and wine, he remained unconvinced of the properties of real ale, always preferring a pint of fizz, or best of all a can of Tennant’s Super Strength. Keith was enjoying a new lease of life, and had made many plans for the future, but tragically his life was taken in a road accident on Wednesday 25th July. In reminiscing over some of our most memorable times with Keith, it seems appropriate to recall some of the peal tours we enjoyed with him. He was a regular stalwart on these, enjoying both the hard work and camaraderie involved. On one such occasion it fell upon Keith to conduct a peal at the deafeningly loud six at Mundford, following which conversation was clearly proving difficult for him. However his vocal cords got a three­hour rest that evening when he scored his first peal of 8­Spliced. The range of accommodation Keith stayed in on such tours also caused much amusement, ranging from some of the excellent establishments at Inveraray, to the anonymous hostel where he turned back the sheets in his and Sue’s room to discover a pair of someone else’s underpants, along with a rubber glove. It was heartening to see the church of St Lawrence’s, Church Stretton packed out on Thursday 2nd August, when a fitting service, including a moving address from the Master of the Lincoln Cathedral Company of Ringers, Les Townsend, paid tribute to Keith’s contributions. We will miss his dry sense of humour, and his zest for life. Our heartfelt thanks go to all those who have contacted us with messages of support, and confirmed our belief that the Exercise has lost one of its true supporters. Robert W Lee
